A good episode in which a difficult choice is presented. Lose a sibling and save the world; save a sibling and risk bringing about the end of the world
I know Prue being killed off wasn't the plan But since it happened I kinda wish this was the ep Instead of the season 3 finale It just feels more right Too me
So i get the whole sacrifice for the greater good scenario however, another plan which piper brought forward made sense. “Only the source can vanquish the horsemen” well the charmed ones are strong enough to vanquish the source so they should be strong enough to vanquish the horsemen. All they needed was to have a vanquishing spell ready for when prue is returned. I get the message they were trying to tell but if you really think about it they used the wrong scenario.
The concept of the apocalypse is not something witches can stop. Even if they could vanquish THIS team, stopping the apocalypse once and for all just isn’t possible. Like Leo said at the end - ‘will they give up?’ ‘No, they’ll try harder.’ The charmed ones can’t end the concept of the apocalypse. Even if they could stop one team.
@@dmf1301 the rules of charmed were made as the writers wrote the story. While the concept of the apocalypse is something that cannot be stopped. As long as it isnt something tied to the grand design which I don’t believe the show established then it can always be stopped. Leo says a lot of things that get discredited due to the writing. Cleaners, time manipulation etc.
@@adriananderson7079 The concept of an apocalypse is much bigger than witches or magic. It's the end of days - the end of life. Suggesting that witches could affect that is like suggesting that witches should play God and use their magic to solve all human problems (which is a concept that WAS addressed in the Harry Potter books). Armageddon, the apocalypse, the end of days... the concept transcends the power of mere mortal witches. Mind you, humans can affect the apocalypse. Leo mentioned two other times the world was on the brink, remember - Hitler and the Cuban Missile Crisis. Those apocalyptic events were human driven, which means that magic - although wielded by human witches - could not even begin to stop it. Have you ever read any of the books? Book 8 "The Legacy of Merlin" actually addresses this concept, too. The 'innocent' that the Charmed ones have to save was pulled from the past - Ancient Camelot - by a Druid Sorceress, the son of the Wizard "Merlin". Phoebe falls in love with him and wants to keep him here in the present, but she has a premonition of an terrible future whereby the Spanish Armada conquered England and plunged England into very dark times. As you know, the Armada did not conquer England in the real world, and the Charmed ones eventually determined that the reason for Phoebe's premonition was that the innocent was missing from the equation - one of his descendants was allegedly a witch who helped 'influence' the events of the Spanish Armada. So by pulling him from the past before he could marry and bear any children, they would effect the future in a negative way, as in Phoebe's premonition. EDIT: The reason it took them a while to arrive at that conclusion was that the innocent himself had no powers, despite being born to a Wizard. But obviously the magic was in his genetic makeup, as a future descendant inherited the magical powers. I don't know if the books are entirely cannon - some of the main events in the TV show timeline do follow the books (like Leo and Piper's marriage and having Wyatt, and Prue dying and Piper and Phoebe finding Paige to reconstitute the Power of Three), but that could be an entirely different interpretation of how much power witches really have to influence the course of events as dictated by human beings, who have more power than witches because of the fact that we have the numbers and they don't. Whether fictional or not, witches cannot alter the course of humanity as a whole. They can save ONE human or humans from a demon or warlock, but that's not at all like altering the course of humanity and the path we choose for ourselves. Magic can't influence us in that way.
This episode is masterpiece 👑 This hourseman felt that Phoebe has something evil inside herself as producers predicted that Cole is coming,they planned that probably for the next season.
Good episode but this couldve been a part 2 I feel like it built up and they end up simply saving her because of what a glitch? I just feel it could’ve ended way better but I’ll wait til the next apocalypse I guess
@@leosilva7525. Alive she is indeed. Well? That is debatable. She has stage four cancer, which is the last stage before the end. She is taking preventative actions e.g. minimising her amount of furniture and other possessions so her mother does not need to clean out too much, and go through all sorts of memories that come along with that, when she is gone. I mean, I wish she was doing well, and not feeling the need to take care of her mother in such a way way. Perhaps she is doing well given the circumstances, however those circumstances are downright gruesome!🥺
The Four Horseman were difficult to beat….Prue almost died Shax killed a sister and their leader the Source….was killed so quickly. Should have been a three parter
YES!! He showed up in the season five finale as one of the titans killing the elders and white lighters. I’m glad I’m not the only one who noticed. Also that one guy that briefly had a fling with Prue ended up on one of the season 8 episodes as the cop. LOL 😂
@@jakalope-sg8pu sorry, i was responding to someone else with similiar question. I agree. They used strife and war despite the fact that they pretty much do the same thing.

As a whitelighter it’s his duty to try and convince them to do what’s right on behave if the world for humanity before the needs of themselves until later in the series whitelighters can only observe heal teleport and advice preaching goes with it and the four horseman of the apocalypse is a massive thing to try and prevent
How the 3 of them and later Rose did not win any Emmy’s is beyond me! I mean their acting is phenomenal given all that happened behind the scenes.
TheWB/CW shows were never nominated for Emmys
@@shacks29yes they are! Crazy ex won an Emmy
@kgjames3603 Buffy was nominated in 1998, and won you are wrong!
The acting in charmed was not Emmy worthy it’s poor even for TV standards
@@paddy1144 they won for music and hair LMAO like I said they never won an emmy for acting same as Buffy....
@@shacks29 yeah you’re changing the argument, you said cow were never nominated for Emmys, you are wrong
The guy in red tie also played one of their enemy Titans in S5.
Yeah I noticed
thry couldnt find any other body builder. Arnold was senator….
Wasnt he also a vampire in Buffy?
@@TornAlchemist yeah he was
@@TornAlchemisthe was also a shapeshifting alien bounty hunter on X-Files
Nothing is stronger than their sisterhood ❤❤❤
I forgot the man in the red tie was in the last episodes of series 5 as one of the titans
I love how Phoebe’s powers were the ONLY ones that worked on the horseman! Shows how powerful Phoebe is!
Phoebe was always powerful. I'd kill to get premonitions lol
You're right. They must be immune to active witch powers.
I like that they decided to sacrifice their sister for the greater good but still got an opportunity to save her
A good episode in which a difficult choice is presented. Lose a sibling and save the world; save a sibling and risk bringing about the end of the world
Okay sibling off ya go! 😊 Time to go bye bye! 😊
They dealt with some serious issues. This is a really underrated episode.
Shannen was so gorgeous in this episode ! Love Prue's outfit so much
Made the ultimate sacrifice of losing a sibling but still won! Good thinking under stress! But still - only in movies/series ;)
I know Prue being killed off wasn't the plan
But since it happened
I kinda wish this was the ep
Instead of the season 3 finale
It just feels more right
Too me

At this point, if I remember correctly, the sister were not strong enough to vanquish the Source.

I agree, but considering Prudence had been relocated at the time A vanquish spell might have been in vain.
One of prues best dresses and she was trapped the whole time such a shame😒
This episode is masterpiece 👑
This hourseman felt that Phoebe has something evil inside herself as producers predicted that Cole is coming,they planned that probably for the next season.
This episode should had been the season finale because this is a great episode
Exactly
There's a typo in the title lol "apoclaypse"
If Anyone Wondering The Name/Episode/ Season...it's Called Apocalypse Not.. Season 2 Episode 21
Good episode but this couldve been a part 2 I feel like it built up and they end up simply saving her because of what a glitch? I just feel it could’ve ended way better but I’ll wait til the next apocalypse I guess
If only real Charmed Ones existed and could save Shannen Doherty’s life🍀😌
She is alive and well as far as I know.
@@leosilva7525. Alive she is indeed. Well? That is debatable. She has stage four cancer, which is the last stage before the end.

@@IndomitableT I thought she was doing fine these days. My bad.
@@IndomitableT I'm so sad reading that. That is horrible in so many ways. No one deserves that ending.
Let's hope for a miracle!
@@IndomitableT she sold those things so shed have more money to go on more trips with her mother.
Had the biggest crush on Leo 😂
He still got with a nice butt hahaha
*hot
The Four Horseman were difficult to beat….Prue almost died
Shax killed a sister
and their leader the Source….was killed so quickly. Should have been a three parter
The Source died in such an anticlimactic way. Buffy's WB finale was four episodes long.
@@blujay1608 Right? Basically in the middle of the season. And i think some other demons were even more difficult to vanquish
You can tell as the season went along that they keep trying to use any excuse possible to keep the two actresses apart as much as possible
Anyone ever noticed the God of War showed up for two different episodes? 😅
YES!! He showed up in the season five finale as one of the titans killing the elders and white lighters. I’m glad I’m not the only one who noticed. Also that one guy that briefly had a fling with Prue ended up on one of the season 8 episodes as the cop. LOL 😂
Yes, in the Ohh My Goddess pt 1 and 2 S5 Ep 23 😂
Isn't pestilence supposed to be one of the 4 horsemen?
@katieb3059 how?

I would like to see the real appoclaypse😂
One day maybe and in the vision of Phoebe that looked amazing
Why is Prue wearing that?

Doesn't the end of the world mean Prue is dead either way?
The source killed the Four Horseman and Shax killed a sister and the Source was killed in 1 episode
not by the Charmed ones, but the Hollow
Vengeance. It's a cycle.
Pestilence War Conquest Famine Death
The source should've not helped them :)))))
Algunos capítulos de esta serie eran buenos y otros eran malísimos parecían producciones de syfy
Leo is so preachy and annoying.
its literally his job to put humanity before selfish needs.
As a whitelighter it’s his duty to try and convince them to do what’s right on behave if the world for humanity before the needs of themselves until later in the series whitelighters can only observe heal teleport and advice preaching goes with it and the four horseman of the apocalypse is a massive thing to try and prevent
he was hot in that suit tho 😂
NOW TRUMP.
Terrible Episode. Acting & Writing ..
Prue was the best ❤
